Hi All,
My first post here and I'm hoping some of you can help me out.
I have an ex issue Bergen 100l + side pouches which I thought were 12.5l each.
The mice have had the main bergen and it's now full of holes and it's the excuse I've been looking for to buy a smaller pack. Luckily the pouches are fine.
The sabre 45 is obviously very highly rated and that could be the answer but I'm confused and don't want to spend any cash until I'm sure.
So I guess the question is are all PLCE side pouches created equal?
I've read on the Karrimor website (and here) that the pouches are 10l not 12.5l. Can I be sure that If I purchase a sabre 45 that my pouches will fit? Maybe my memory is going and the side pouches are 10l and not 12.5l but I'm sure the whole thing was 100 + 25? They have the clips top and bottom and zips on the side plus the little strap loops (which I've never used.)
My bergen isn't brand new but I guess it's less than 10yrs old. I'm not interested in the yoke or similar - just the ability to up the capacity of the sabre when necessary.
If it doesn't work out then it'll be the snugpak rocketpak and I'll have to work out what to do with the two spare side pouches.
Do you think I'm safe to jump in or is my bag old and there's been an upgrade that I can't find?
Thanks for any help and advice in advance.
